Viscount Goschen (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 May 2025

Debate

Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2025

Contribution

My Lords, I was not making that point at all. I was saying that if the noble Lord’s ministerial car broke down at a roundabout and he was hit from behind by a 3.5 tonne vehicle and a colleague was hit by a 4.25 tonne vehicle, the latter would involve 20% more energy transfer and therefore 20% more potential for severity. Would he accept the simple physics of the argument? I am not suggesting that one is more likely to have an accident than the other.
